Fleurie Le Pre Roi 2014

100% Gamay

Beaujolais Crus have suffered, immensely, from the world famous “beaujolais nouveau”. The famed wine reduced the others great and fine winessuch as Moulin-à-vent, Morgon or Julienas, to something is similar to Beaujolais Nouveau…

In fact, they are Beaujolais, but from the northern part where the landscape is totally different from the south. Soils, in the north, are granitic, sometimes decomposed, but it is also hilly,  important feature that gives south facing slopes, that will ensure the right maturity of the now fashionable Gamay.

Yes, Beaujolais is experiencing a kind of revival, thanks to dynamic wine producers. Some can age for more than 20 years. For that you check Jean Paul Brun‘s wines.
